Unsatisfactory Performance

Students who do not make satisfactory academic progress will be excluded from the graduate accounting program. In addition to Graduate School policies concerning unsatisfactory performance, the School will exclude students from the accounting program for each of the following reasons:

1. The student earns two grades below "B" in accounting courses numbered 5000 and above regardless of whether the student was in the Fisher School of Accounting at the time they earned those grades.
2. The student’s accounting grade point average, calculated on all attempts of all required accounting courses numbered 4000 and above (taken as a graduate student), falls below 3.0 and remains there after one subsequent term of enrollment.
3. The student’s graduate accounting grade point average, calculated on all attempts of all required graduate accounting courses numbered 5000 and above (taken as a graduate student), falls below 3.0 and remains there after one subsequent term of enrollment.
4. The student’s graduate grade point average (for all graduate courses taken as a graduate student) falls below a 3.0 and remains there after one subsequent term of enrollment.
5. The student’s cumulative grade point average (for all courses taken as a graduate student) falls below 3.0 and then remains there after one subsequent term of enrollment.
6. The student withdraws from the University three times after admission into the Fisher School of Accounting.
7. The student fails to complete a required accounting course for two consecutive semesters of enrollment.
8. For purposes of all of the above policies, the following rules apply to the definition of a term:
   1. Any term for which a student registers for courses at the University of Florida counts as a term of enrollment, even if the student subsequently withdraws from the term (after the drop/add period).
   2. Summer registration is viewed as registration for one term, (e.g., whether a student registers for Summer A alone, or registers for Summer A and Summer B and C, the student is considered to have registered for one term).
9. See the undergraduate catalog for a discussion on how grade point averages are computed.
